I worked at Hyundai as a technician for a couple of months and had to deal with their existing corrosion recall on their subframes and front lower control arms on the Sonata, Elantra, and Tiburon as well as the rear trailing arms on the Santa Fes. I still remember the one day a customer's Elantra was towed right into the shop before the recall was issued. Front left lower control arms (stamped and welded) snapped right in half at the bend. What a mess.

I've never had to take my car in for a recall, given that VW is about to announce any production problems on a 1973 Beetle. If they did, I'm not sure the dealer would know what to do with my car anyway.
